[mythtv-users] Can't get PAL modelines to work in X

I googled around and found some X modelines for use with PAL TVs. All
of the ones I found were the same so I figured it would work on any
TV. However, they're getting rejected by X - the following lines
appear in Xorg.0.log:

(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "640x480PAL" (vrefresh out of range)
(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "720x576PAL" (vrefresh out of range)
(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "800x600PAL" (vrefresh out of range)

Extracts from my xorg.conf look like this:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Philips"
        ModelName    "80cm TV"
        HorizSync    30.0 - 50.0
        VertRefresh  60.0 - 60.0
        ModeLine "640x480PAL"   29.50 640  675  678  944  480  530  535  625
        ModeLine "720x576PAL"   27.50 720  744  800  880  576  581  583  625
        ModeLine "800x600PAL"   36.00 800  818  820  960  600  653  655  750
###     Option       "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Videocard0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth      24
        SubSection "Display"
###                Viewport   0 0
                Virtual 800 600
                Depth     24
#                Modes    "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
#                Modes    "800x600" "640x480" "1024x768"
                 Modes    "720x576PAL" "800x600PAL" "640x480PAL"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Does anyone know what I need to do to get X to use the PAL modelines?
